...student organization which will be a clearing house for all ideas, theories discussions, experiences, and criticism of Government, particularly Harvard's Government Department. The Council was first organized last spring, and it has quietly worked its way to the point where a hundred odd men attended last night's panel discussion. At that rate of growth, the Council will soon become a powerful, constructive force in the Government Department--a force which is conspicuously lacking in many other fields...

The paintings cover the two middle panels, both done in dark colors, much in the manner of a gloomy mid-Victorian picture. The top panel shows a bird, akin to a seagull, in the process of swallowing a fish, while the bottom one depicts a turtle resting on a half-submerged...
